Yesterday, I talked about some old places Frank, Liz, and I visited. Today, it will be new places in the area. We'd been to these places before, but all are under new ownership so we'd thought we'd stop in and see what changes there were.
1. Choppers on Il-171-- This used to be Neuraters and then Neuty's in the last several years. The new owners are extensivelyremodeling and have built a deck along the creek and back. They have some great pizza and a pretty good Thursday deal: two pieces of pizza and a draft for $3. These are big pieces of pizza as well.
2. California Coal House on Il-173-- This used to be TNT's for a lot of years and then most recently Bacchus. The new owners haven't done much with the place as far as changing it. Not much in the form of drink of food deals that we could see, but at home I found they had a buy one lunch or dinner and get the second for free.
3. Kokomo's on Grasslake Road-- I used to deejay here when it was Fringe Benefits, quite a long time ago. Two years ago, an old friend of mine, Mike Nolan opened it as Kokomo's with a Caribbean motiff. I used to deejay for him when he owned Nolan's ob Bluff Lake. Unfortunately, he died quite suddenly about a year ago. of drink specials and on Thursdays, they have a Free buffet.
It is good to see these places opening up and with owners willing and able to put money into them.
